I don’t know anybody I served with in the military who experienced any of those things. We all came out completely alive & whole & thriving, The only person I knew in the military who died, he got in a car accident and died while he was on leave.
I’m guessing after 2006, with little to no deployment time then?
My unit still has suicides 20 years later. We had people go home without limbs, with major brain damage, and in body bags.
And no it wasn’t just us infantry guys. The mechanics had to go out and recover vehicles knowing they’ve been abandoned in the city for hours. That’s probably the only time we weren’t surprised. The logistics guys were driving every day, no matter what the IED report said. And the mortars landing on base didn’t stop to ask what your job was.
I’m glad you got the other side of the dice. But don’t pretend the shit stick doesn’t exist.
🙄 I served for 4 years, two of those years I was in school. And none of those years I was in combat, I was in military intelligence, we worked in a bunker, pretty isolated job. Nobody I know died, except for that car accident guy.

Thank you for speaking truth to bullshit.
funny I know 3 people who served and are dead, and one who has just disappeared and I didn’t even serve.
Then you’re a fucking liar

What MOS has 2 years of school and only 2 years of active duty? You’re full of shit stolen valor.
